October 25 - November 1, 2017 www.TheTownCommon.com Page Essex Coastal Byway Helps ‘Woman’ Owned Shops Continued from page 1 who owns Essex Exchange, about how they could work together, using the byway to promote each other’s businesses. Other women-owned businesses, some of whom they knew, others they did not, were invited to join in the collaborative marketing program. The result, which was honored this month by the Essex Commission and the National Park Service, is a colorful brochure that promotes nine “Woman” owned businesses within 10 miles along the byway. Number one is Bresnahan’s shop in Gloucester, which sells painted mailboxes, gifts and glassware, flags and windsocks, nautical items and jewelry. No. 9 is Cathy Reardon, who owns the multi-vendor antique shop, Serendipity at Todd’s Farm in Rowley. In between are the other shops. Cassia is No. 5, at the top of the second page, who offers American art, her own paintings, home décor, gifts, jewelry, estate collectibles, furniture and handicrafts. Other businesses in the network are Ann Thomas, who owns the multi-vendor Lost Treasures shop in Rowley, Lauren Hesse, who sells vintage modern Danish Continued from page 1 years earlier. The first appearance by the eccentric, drug-addicted consulting detective was not well received. Not until The Adventures was published in The Strand magazine did the public fascination with Holmes begin. Doyle, a Scottish doctor who struggled to establish his practice as a physician, turned to writing to fill up empty hours and make ends meet. In late Victorian London he used as a model for Holmes an irascible medical school mentor from medical school. He gave Holmes the title of consulting detective, which was a new job description. Soon Holmes was so popular Doyle was able to leave the practice of medicine to devote himself full time to writing. But to his dismay, readers were interested only in Holmes, not supernatural subjects that he was interested in. Years later when Doyle had amassed a sufficient fortune, he tried to kill Holmes off and move on to other subjects. The ploy didn’t work. The public furniture and ceramics as well as locally produced jewelry, Ann Orcutt’s AnnTiques in Ipswich, who sells furniture, lighting, art, textiles, rugs, North American collections and music, and Susan Lufkin and Shelly Nicastro who own the Essex Bird Shop & Pet Supply. “Everyone thought it would be fun,” Cassia said. “It is nice working with other women who work as hard as I do,” Bresnahan said. Over the summer, the women created the brochure, which features an original painting by Cassia on the front, and a map of the shops on the back. They printed 5,000 copies to hand out to customers. The brochures, which arrived in the shops in time for Labor Day, have been so popular, Cassia said they are running out. Customers come in Cassia’s shop, carrying the brochure, like they are on a scavenger hunt, as they make their way to all nine businesses. “They tell me, ‘You’re Joanne. You’re number 5,’” Cassia said. “And when they leave, they say they are headed to find number 6,” Orcutt’s AnnTiques. In naming the women business owners one of its five Pioneers in Partnership this year, Essex Sherlock Holmes Turns 125The demanded more. So Doyle had a soggy Holmes drag himself from the mists of Reichenbach Falls, where he had supposedly fallen in mortal combat with his archenemy, Moriarty, to battle crime for another couple of dozen stories. McClellan said she fell in love with the “arrogant” and “prissy” Holmes watching Masterpiece Theater with her mother in Michigan. But it was not until graduate school did she find other scholars interested in studying Holmes. She created classes in detective/mystery fiction and now uses Holmes in many of her college courses. “He works so well,” she said, noting that Holmes stirs up a lot of debate. McClellan, who is working on a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities To Go program, has been touring New Hampshire libraries talking about Holmes for the last five years. The Groveland presentation is one of her first cross-border ventures. She has spent much of her career trying to answer the question of why Holmes rose to such heights of popularity and why he has Come in for a visit and compare!

She compares these items to Harry Potter’s glasses. Some of the most memorable aspects about Holmes are simply false, she said. For example, Doyle never had him wear the famous hat. Nor did he ever use the term, “Elementary, Dr. Watson.” Doyle actually has him say, “Exactly, Dr. Watson.” For much of his 125 years, Holmes has been a force in print, radio, television and now increasingly in advertising, she said.
